True conservatives support a safety net, to temporarily support the needy. "Temporary" is the key word. Liberals believe 'it takes a village to raise a child' - conservatives think mom and dad can do it just fine.

How letting people get married if they love each other and are of the same sex

Conservatives believe in individual choice. If one chooses to marry, you have to accept the status existing, though, and the US reserves a few benefits for man-woman couples.

letting them practice their religion of choice if it is a moderate religion preaching tolerance and equality between all men and women

Is there a dispute about that? It is, of course, equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.

regulated theraputic cloning that might save or improve the quality of someone's life or letting them change their physical sex to suit that of their mental-brain sex is a threat to society as we know it is beyond me.

Who opposes this? The dispute is that liberals want us, the taxpayers, to pay the bill. The people, via the elected representatives, say "we won't pay."

On the domestic front I've found that "live and let live, yet carry a big stick for the radicals that are dangerous to the health of others" is the best way to live and that it has served Australia well.

Here in the US, there are radicals (that I ignore) on the right and especially on the left. The US leftist radicals and their money have grabbed control of the Democratic party, and have made themselves into an unelectable minority.

If you really are Ann Coulter though, post a note on your official site or PM me with verifiable proof that you are who you say you are and I will endeavour to see about getting you a radio interview on Australian College and Community radio so that you can explain your views and actions in a fair yet critical setting.

I've written eight books - seven of which have been in the NYTimes best selling top 10, and three recent ones have gone to No. 1. You can learn all about my views by reading them.

My books are hardly marketed down under. I'm spending my time promoting my books in the US.

Theres your challenge and opportunity to put your money where your mouth is if you are who you say you are.

I won't waste time and money on Australians. If you want to arrange a college speaking event, and pay what you usually pay for the liberal talkers, contact my agent, and send a ticket.
